Plastic-Free & Durable: Sustainable Kitchen Utensils

You do not want to buy kitchen utensils or kitchen helper every two years. If the kitchen utensils are plastic-free, you can even save money. This is due to the longevity of other materials. Plastic tends to wear off by dissolving at the high temperature into small plastic particles. It is better to rely on plastic-free alternatives immediately.

During our research, we noticed how incredibly many kitchen utensils there are available on the market. In fact, we do not have much of it, but we still list the whole range. So that in this post just anyone will find it. The most important utensils for a minimalist kitchen are included in a separate article. However, everyone else has needs, so everyone should decide for themselves what they actually need and what they don’t.

Stainless steel, wood and glass serve as perfect alternatives for plastic-free kitchen utensils. Especially stainless steel is popular in the kitchen, because stainless steel is easy to sterilize. No wonder that all industrial kitchens are made of stainless steel. After all, the chefs are also responsible for the hygiene in their kitchen.
